This instructor-led paddle sport session offers a chance to learn basic paddling techniques on either a kayak or paddle board in a safe environment. The session includes a full safety briefing and quality equipment, helping you build confidence to paddle independently. It is suitable for beginners and designed to accommodate different skill levels.
The session begins with a comprehensive safety briefing, where instructors will provide buoyancy aids and explain essential safety procedures. You will receive guidance on basic paddling strokes, balance, and steering techniques suitable for your chosen craft—either a paddle board or kayak.
Following the briefing, you will practice on calm waters under close supervision. Instructors will tailor advice to your progress, offering tips to improve control and efficiency. Weather and tide conditions will be taken into account to ensure the safest and most enjoyable experience. You may be recommended a specific craft to match conditions and skill level for the best results.
The session is structured to build confidence and prepare you for independent paddling in other locations. If you prefer, you can bring your own equipment for a reduced price, though the use of provided gear ensures you have access to properly maintained and suitable craft.

All necessary equipment, including kayaks or paddle boards and buoyancy aids, are provided for the session. You just need to wear suitable clothing for water activities, such as quick-drying layers or a wetsuit depending on the weather.
